From the Starfleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph and mentioned in Epsilon IX comms traffic, the Ship of the Day is Scout Columbia NCC-621. 1/1000 Polar Lights with PNT Models Scout/Destroyer Conversion kit.

I bought the Technical Manual and Enterprise Blueprints when they came out. Blew my mind.

Great job on the model but I did not like the deflector on a stick mounted on the lower sensor. That inspired me to redesign that ship.

I like the premise but I think you might need to reconsider the nacelle area. You need some kind of bussard. (Just my personal opinion though)

Maybe you could replace part of the front area with a kind of bussard thats a ring instead of a cap like on all other models. That might be kind of unique!

I always thought the front if the nacelles of the original 1701 and 1701D was solid. Sure looked like it. The most logical place to suck in stray matter is the rings behind the deflector. If that deflector can push matter away, then flip a switch and have it suck in matter👍

Alot of people have told me that. 😁 "bussards" were added to Trek with the TNG paklid episode. Before that there were no such thing as a bussard. For 20 yrs TOS ships never had a bussard. And I'm from that 20yrs before TNG generation👍🧓.

By bussard I mean like the orange caps on a nacelle. I've always seen them as necessary given all designs have them in some form (TMPs are behind the black lines in the front). Its completely up to you though. That's just my personal opinion. Really love the work you put in!

It's strange, but I have never liked the single nacelle starships, no matter the configuration, with the only exception being the '09 USS Kelvin. It's engineering hull provides balance and symmetry to its design.

That's a nice model none the less.
